NO PREP! Simply Print ‘n Go! Grade 1 addition, Workbook 1, is a workbook comprising around 22 worksheets (answer keys included)aimed at early learners, with a focus on numbers 1-10. This workbook is ideal for revision purposes and is suitable to a homeschool or formal classroom setting.

The South African National Curriculum states that the aims of the South African Constitution include improving the quality of life of all citizens and free the potential of each person. Education and the curriculum have an important role to play in realising these aims.

The National Curriculum Statement Grades R-12 represents a policy statement for learning and teaching in South African schools. Grades R–12 standardises the assessment & recording within the framework.

We are in the process of rewriting curriculum over a number of subjects for Grades R-12 specifically for South African schools, which is slightly more advanced than the current CAPs curriculum, but easily manageable for slightly younger learners, and a breeze for older students. This is an enormous task but well worth the effort now and a valuable timesaver.

This workbook is one in a series which are outcome based, with a focus on learning the basic skills before progressing onto more challenging work.

My purpose in writing, and rewriting, curriculum is to ensure that affordable, quality educational resources are available to homeschooling families, which may be of a slightly more advanced level than the basic education provided in our National Curriculum presently, which is based primarily on Learning Outcomes.

One of my favorite of all time Unit Studies was on Butterflies… While this particular unit was created some 3 years ago and could certainly do with some wonderful new worksheet activities, it is still a very comprehensive unit, covering many subjects and areas of interest, for a range of ages.

This work is aimed at early learners to much older learners within the elementary school age group. Some of the best ways for our children to learn is by play and interaction. Teaching them about insects is a fun and exciting way for you to encompass a variety of subjects into your theme. Math activities can include symmetry and counting. Grammar and vocabulary exercises are relatively simple to coordinate;
• Butterfly crafts can be used as an extension lesson or to make gifts for that special person, or to create a fantastically whimsical outfit;
• Social studies can include why people or situations are likened to butterflies, caterpillars or moths;
• Drama and the arts can be anything relating to watching animated (or documentary) movies, drawing, photography as well as dressing up;
• Life skills can include planning and hands-on interaction for a butterfly-themed party;
• Literature Arts will include reading and writing poetry or books or a complete literature unit study.

We don’t forget of course the fact that nature and science will form the basis for your very first butterfly study. Extensions can include geography i.e. where do those butterflies come from? Historically one could venture into which cultures or societies and in which era were butterflies used as symbols, and what did they symbolize.

Critical thinking skills and revision for older or younger students can include cryptic puzzles, wordsearches, crossword puzzles and a variety of questions and answers, true or false. Younger children would love coloring pages, mazes and drawing.

There are many ways to include butterflies into your child’s classroom. On this page I share with you a few of the ideas we have tried or would like to try. I do hope you enjoy them, and find some useful resources!

The unit is written in US English and is A4 size. Please adjust your printer settings.

For moms, dads and the rest of the family, enjoy cooking, baking, crafts and singing along with action poems. Also included is a list of further resources for educators as well as a few family-oriented activities.
